I am creating console app, involving lots of services. I want to display a webpage within my program window. I know how to launch a new window ( http://dotnetpulse.blogspot.com/2006/04/opening-url-from-within-c-program.html )but I was wondering can I ask a browser to render a webpage withing my program window (in C#) ?
The best solution would likely be to use the WebBrowser control.
This can be placed on a form and allows the web page to appear inside your application.
Here is a nice example of how to go about implementing it http://ryanfarley.com/blog/archive/2004/12/23/1330.aspx
Hope this helps
Use the WebBrowser control and pass it the URL of the web page to render.
In your Windows form, something like (off the top of my head so may need tweaking to get it to compile):
WebBrowser browser = new WebBrowser();
browser.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
this.Add(browser);
browser.Navigate("http://www.myurl.com");
In a Form you can use WebBrowser Control... in a Console Application there is no way wihout opening a new form.... but you could:
design a form with a Webbrowser Control
hide its border and showintask = false
Open it at a position in your Console-Window

Hope somebody could give me some advice or point me into some direction.
Im using CefSharp Browser Control in an application, one if the things that im struggling with is when i click on Image Hyperlinks (or any hyperlinks for that matter) it shows a Windows Form where the image is displayed, i fiddled around in the RequestHandler on the OnBeforeBrowse method and added the following:
if (ValidateURL(request.Url))
{
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(request.Url);
return true;
}
return false;
Where the ValidateURL does some REGEX checks.
What i have noticed is that a Windows Form (Blank Windows Form) still opens up and the image on my Browser (expected).
Where can i double check to not show the blank Windows Form, or hide it?
Version:
Chromium 39.0.2171.95 CEF: r2069, CefSharp: 39.0.2.0

Any help will do!
I have a C# GUI which contain a User Control, this User Control contains a web browser, I want to make a button which will make it pop in a new window in the current state it is in.
Lets say I have the web browser opened on a specific page in Google, and I want to pop up the User Control in a new Windows Form at the same state and not as a new window that will take me to google.com but to the current page I had open.
Is there anyway to make it work?
Thanks in advance
Here is what you can do.
a) Access the UserControl class from the parent forms class.
b) Create a internal property in user control class that will return your WebBrowser control object.
c) From the main form you can then access WebBrowser.Url property and you either save this URL, redirect the browser or save the URL to show the user control later with the same URL. If you assign a string to this Url property it will navigate the browser to that page.
Please read this WebBrowser.Url MSDN
So I have a link I'm trying to click on a WebBrowser control. The problem is it pops up in a new tab, making IE open. I can't manage the web pages after it opens in IE, so I need to force it to somehow stay within my program. It doesn't matter if another WebBrowser control needs to open or anything, just so long as it says in my program.
there are a few ways you can do this, one way is to loop through the DOM (Document Object Model) and find the link which opens in a new window, and change its "target=" attribute value to "target=_top" this way it will open in current top-level page of your current WB Control container.
Otherwise, there is a NewWindow2 event which you can intercept, write the following code inside that event (where WB1 is you WebBrowser Controls name):
Processed = True
WB1.Navigate2 URL
This will tell your WB Control that the request has been processed (tricking it into believing that it has been processed), and if you just did this, nothing would happen, so after the first line you write the second line which tells it to open the URL that it just tried to open in the new window, in the current window (WB1), so really you are just reissuing the request but for the same container/WB Control where the link was clicked.
I've written the code in VB, however I'm sure it's not a problem to understand and transfer to c#.
Let me know how you get along and if there is anything else i can do to help.
I'm usually working with Windows Forms Applications, but I'm currently needing Windows Presentation Foundation for design purposes.
What I am needing to do is clear out the current open window and fill it with new user controls as though a new window has been opened. In short, open a new window without actually opening a new window, similar to navigating to a new page in a web browser. (Still the same window open in the Taskbar, no extras.)
I was unsure if there was a specific class or control that made this easy to do. If someone could enlighten me on the way to do this in WPF, I would be very pleased.
Thanks.
There are a number of possible ways - here are a few that come to mind:
Navigation
In WPF, you can actually navigate to different xaml pages. In this scenario, you would define a number of pages that a main page could navigate to.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms750478.aspx
Programmatic
You can do it the old school way and just clear out all of the controls in a window. For example (in the context of a window):
StackPanel stackPanel = new StackPanel();
stackPanel.Children.Add(new MyUserControl1());
stackPanel.Children.Add(new MyUserControl2());
this.Content = stackPanel;
In an internet webpage , there is a constant menu usually placed on the top or left of a page from which user can navigate (They call it Iframes) ..
I would like to know if it is possible to do something like that using WinForm applications or WPF applications in c# .
At present I am simply inheriting forms from a base class . and each time the user needs to navigate , I have no option but to open up a new form with the same Peristent menu ...
Any suggestions here ?
I managed to use usercontrol to embed a form into another ..
Form1 has a userControl , Form2 embedded inside the user control .
things to note was ..
the embedded forms toplevel property should be set to false
the embedded forms FormBorderStyle should be set to none
userControl1.Controls.Clear();
Form2 f = new Form2();
f.Toplevel=flase;
f.Show();
f.TopLevel = false;
userControl1.Controls.Add(f);
You could use an MDI-container in WinForms.
see here and here for more information.
You mean like an MDI application (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/myBestMDI.aspx) or just using a SplitContainer on the form? Really there are many options. WPF has ElementHost I think. Did you do any research yet? What did you find?
You could also take the toolbox approach. Have a parent program start the menu form and then other forms can use it... or it can launch from it... what ever your use case is.
Well, there should be a frame component in WPF which will give you such an option. Then you would use a "view" concept to open the WPF Pages you direct the user to.
